Official synopsis Publisher
Deprived of an education, Sabina is forced to work on the farm, pulling weeds and planting beans and corn in the hot sun. She’s sent to a creek at the foot of the mountain, to keep the fire burning under the rum-making apparatus while her father sleeps through the raging storm. Terrified, she watches seven people get washed away by the muddy water. At age twelve, she runs away from slavery, not knowing what she’d find beyond the mountain.
